Arthichoke Heart

The truth, as I know it
But not for you to see
Beneath the layers of lessons
Is a heart that needs to be free

Peel back these years of time gone by
Where hidden passion lives
And find the heart
That sits and waits
That longs to give and give

And in that dark and secret place
If you should ever find
Is a taste of love so bittersweet
That simply is divine

Heart essence I may give you
Or maybe just stay mine
I trust that you will find it
That artichoke heart, sometime
